Monday 5 December

Occupy Cardiff: The Debate. Large Shandon Lecture Theatre, Cardiff University. 7 – 9pm. Event hosted by Cardiff University Debating Society on the Occupy Movement. Formal debate followed by Q & A session. The motion will be: This house believes that Cardiff Council should have supported the Occupy Cardiff movement.

What is Capitalism? Occupy Cardiff camp, Transport House, 1 Cathedral Road. 6 – 8pm. “The Occupy Movement has been described in the press as an “anticapitalist” movement. But some supporters disagree. We all want to see society changed, to end the grip the billionairres and the banks have on our world. We want an end to injustice, inequality and the absence of democracy. Does this mean we need an end to the capitalist system, or is it possible to have a good, humane or productive capitalism? Good questions, but first of all we answer the question “WHAT IS CAPITALISM?” Short interactive workshop followed by a discussion.
